The Clash put "Armagideon Time" on the flip of "London Calling" in 1979, an English punk band handing its B-side to a piece of Jamaican reggae. The song is Willi Williams's: he first cut it in 1977 at Jamaica Recording Studio in Kingston, with Clement "Coxsone" Dodd producing and building it on the "Real Rock" riddim, and Studio One put his single out in 1979, the same year the Clash took it on. Williams and Dodd carry the writing credit.
